Kenya’s parks. At more than 13,700km², Tsavo East is believed to be nine times bigger than the Masai Mara National Reserve: indeed you could fit the whole of the Mara reserve into the southern tip of Tsavo East National Park, south of the Voi River. Most famous for its huge herds of dust-red elephants, more than 10,000 of them bulldoze their way around this vast park. Tsavo East is zoologically associated with northern Kenya, you’ll see long-necked Gerenuk and Somali ostrich, the male of which has a blue neck and legs, and introduced herds of the handsome, fine-striped, Grevy’s zebra, also to be seen here are short-maned Tsavo lions; cheetahs as well as black rhinos.
